No Post, No Beep, No Video???

HI all,
I have an old HP Pavilion machine with Asus P2B-VE mobo and PIII 500 cpu.
Here are the specs
PIII 500 cpu (Katmai core) running at 100Mhz fsb Slot1
Asus P2B-VE mobo
nVidia Riva TNT2 ultra AGP video card
Kingston 256Mb PC133 Ram
WD 20Gb, Verbatim 32x Cd-writer
The power supply is stock with 145W max
The system was working perfectly before.

After doing successfull overclocking on my other AMD machine, I decide to do the A14 pin trick for PIII (putting tape on the A14 pin). The trick allows the PIII cpu to run at 133Mhz. But then I noticed the fsb setting jumbers were removed form the mobo. So I soldered the necessary pins. When I set up everything together, i got no post, no beeps, no video signal. So I removed the tape from the cpu, removed the jumber soldering. I still get no post, no beeps, no video. I tried re doing evreything, but no luck. Think i fried the mobo.🙁
Any ideas??
 
If it beeped before the operation, now it doesn't, I think you killed it. I just lost a slot 1 BX chipset MB to overclocking--it took 4 years but it died. The caps next to the slot were too hot to touch. R
 
Yup, I had it for 3 years too. I did check the cpu though. It wasn't hot or something.
I'll check the caps today.
